If you copied the overlapping part of the top sprite into the bottom sprite (assuming these sprites don't move around), then you could set the locZ of the bottom sprite to higher than the top sprite's locZ on mouseEnter, and then set it back to its original locZ on mouseLeave (Also assuming a matte ink). Otherwise, you'll have to find the intersecting rect, and do some fairly involved checks on mouseLeave in the bottom sprite, and on exitframe in the top sprite - check to see if the mouse is inside the overlapping part, and decide what (if anything) to tell the other sprite. -Kurt [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
